The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Senior Electrical Engineer from Iran. His work had focused specifically on renewable generation, developing new technology that meets the needs of the energy industry faces with new sources of energy, and designing transmission grid solutions that are flexible, economical and can be incorporated into current technology. We successfully demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would benefit those in his field, as well as the citizens of the United States at large. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to his field, including 24 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 124 times at the time we filed the case; nearly all of the citations were by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field. The importance of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, ”As you can see, [the Client]’s unique ability to provide flexible solutions to existing systems is really quite remarkable. While the ideal situation would be to entirely upgrade, this is not really an economically realistic proposition, which makes [the Client]’s designs very important for the maintenance of our current system. His research has provided adaptable resources that can be utilized in a number of ways to ensure that our existing power grid is capable of meeting the demands of progressive technology.” Through extensive documentation, we were able to successfully argue that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW petition was approved in 9 months and 9 days.
